AWESOME! I'm still hoping for a re-recording of ジャパニーズロウレゾキャラメルタウン, since they played a slightly different version live...

Recently bought a pair of cherry wood "aircoustics". Love them! They're super comfortable, look really classy and have a nice sound

^ no problem Posted it in the random songs-thread as well !

Great news! I kept wondering if they would eventually release the song ! Btw, I uploaded the KY from Ayabie Demo and the live version for those who are interested ! Mediafire Can't wait!!

Thanks guys ! And happy (belated) birthday Champ!

Thank you !!

new haircut ^^

THAT ACTUALLY EXISTS? My life has meaning again. It does! You can check it out here We've got awesome classes/lectures at our university xD

Haha I totally suck at criminal law or anything government related xD I'm more into civil law... At our university (Cologne), medical law is a combination of medical, insurance and employment law. We learn all the basic stuff during our first 4 semesters and then choose a main area for our 5th and 6th. There are like 15 different ones available (even stuff like space law) so it's going to be a tough decision ! I've been visiting a lecture on medical jurisprudence this semester and that's what got me interested in doing medical law. Medical law is mainly civil law anyways (or criminal law. You can choose between some classes) Don't worry, I'm not going to betray you guys I still unsure about the media law thing, since I'm mainly interested in doing licence agreements etc (since I'd like to work in the music industry...) but that's only a small part of that subject :/

^ high five! i'm also a law student ! And I'm planning on specializing in either media or medical law

I discovered this guy shortly after his EP was released and I've been listening to it on a daily basis since then! That guy's BRILLIANT ! Glad there's someone else who appreciates awesome music !

That one's pretty good! Currently I'm still playing Dissidia Duodecim: Final Fantasy because it's so damn addictive D:

7/10

Took this one today !

bOeuGksCJfk You should seriously check this guy out! His EP is one of the best releases I've heard in a looooong time. There's not one second I didn't enjoy while listening to this. You can get a free song at his Facebook page.

Might go to Bochum or Utrecht. Utrecht would be cool since the show's on my birthday xD

This is brilliant...

wow! I really like those covers!

Yep, that was me xD And seriously, I don't make comments like that if I don't mean it! I'm very picky when it comes to artwork, but I adore her style !

The Cleveland Show s02e19

Amazing works!

I took some random shots because I needed a new FB profile pic and ended up looking kinda dumb xD

THIS! He's done it in an ingenious way! For VK bands it's seems more like a fashion statement to me to be honest. Sure, it's edgy etc. but it's rarely really shocking. For her most recent PV (J-Pop-)singer Koda Kumi wore a cap that said "Volksmarine" and apparently some people felt really offended by that (even though it didn't really have something to do with WWII but with the DDR). Haven't heard anything like that about VK-bands O.o And about the questions: 1.) Do you feel that the Japanese culture views this imagery differently from how Occidental cultures do? Of course. I won't even try to imagine the uproar that would be caused it someone here would wear something like that. 2.) Are you personally offended by it? Not really. 3.) Do you feel it is done to convey the same messages as 1930's and 40's political propaganda? Or is it more of an edgy thing that is much less frowned upon in that culture than it is for Western fans? As I said before it seems to be nothing more than a fashion statement to me, at least for most bands. 4.) What's your opinions on using other WWII imagery, be it based on the Nazi party or not? (Example: Malice Mizer waving the flag of the old empire during shows to tell a story from the view point of a Japanese soldier, the use of old WWII uniforms as costumes, etc) Well there are certainly some ways how you should NOT do it but as long as it isn't used to convey some sort of Nazi propaganda or make them look like it's a good thing, it's alright I guess. Though this only applies to bands outside of Germany (or maybe Europe as well), because that would be inappropriate in every way. There's a reason why we have laws against this here.

Opionions on their first release? 01. 鮮血のMARIYA 9/10 Definetely the best track on this single. Even though I have a hard time taking this seriously, this song is kinda catchy. 02. もうヘドバンなんてしないなんて言わないよ絶対 7/10 Didn't like this song at first but after listening to it a couple of times it started to remind me of アヤビエ's first songs, which is no surprise since Intetsu wrote this. 03. la gueule de bois 6.5/10 This could have easily been a AYABIE song as well, so it doesn't really fit this single. Apart from this it's a pretty cool song. 04. コトリノサエズリ 8.5/10 One of my favourites from this single even though they tried a little to hard to sound "old-school". Overall: 7,5 /10
